Frequently Asked Questions

by our clinic in South East London

What is Aqualyx® fat dissolving?

Aqualyx® is a water-like solution containing desoxycol acid. This bile acid is found within our bodies and functions to aid fat digestion. When injected directly into the treatment area, the solution liquefies fat cells which are then expelled naturally by your body.

Typically, there are 2 – 5 injections per treatment area. It varies from one person to the next but most clients see best results after 2 to 5 treatments.*

When Will I notice results of the treatment?

It starts working immediately after the treatment is completed. However, dissolved fat cells go out of the body through lymphatic system. This takes around 3 to 4 week post treatment. You will see progressively good results over 3 to 4 weeks.

How long should results last?

By the end of your treatment course, you should see results that last. It’s really important to maintain them by sticking to a healthy diet and getting regular exercise. We’ll talk through all of this in detail during your consultation.*
